Participants at the set of conferences culminating in this volume noted the vague and inconsistent use of this term. Similarly, “territorial autonomy” suffers from varied usages. It has the additional problem of excluding otherwise extremely developed forms of autonomy. The definitional distinction should include a territorial element, but should also include depth and scope of autonomy. Thus geospatial specificity is relevant, but not determinative.",
